This PKGBUILD creates a version of wine that is not capable of running 32 bit code, and is therefore not able to emulate windows98.
I've taken the PKGBUILD of wine in the non-user repository, and updated it. That yields wine 9.0rc2 that is capable of emulating windows98.
That PKGBUILD is here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56039

This package is still relevant because
multilib/wine
does not have wow64 mode enabled and/or has not dropped lib32 depends.Hanabishi commented on 2024-05-22 11:55 (UTC) (edited on 2024-05-22 12:01 (UTC) by Hanabishi)
@dreieck, https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-9.0#wow64
TLDR: with new WoW64 mode, you can run 32-bit Windows apps on pure 64-bit Linux system, i.e. without
multilib/lib32-*
dependencies installed.tiziodcaio commented on 2023-09-11 14:58 (UTC)
Added wine-staging-wow64, the wine-wow64 package with staging patches!
